After Zayne was done speaking, he quickly hung up the phone.
Angeline suddenly burst into tears.
She startled Josie, who was beside her, and Josie quickly consoled her. “Don’t cry, Angeline. Zayne will be fine. He’s just bluffing and deliberately trying to gain my sympathy. He has always liked using these sorts of tricks.”
Angeline laid on Josephine’s shoulder and cried aggrievedly. “Josie, I know that Zayne made an unforgivable mistake, so you probably won’t be able to forgive him, right?”
Josie did not give her a response.
As for her future with Zayne, frankly speaking, she had not been able to make up her mind.
With her former outspoken and straightforward personality, no cheating man would ever get a second chance out of her. The man would have to get out of her world completely. However, when the incident happened to her, Josie realized how tangled and tormented her heart was.
Angeline’s next words proceeded to end all of Josie’s entanglement.
“Jose, I think you might’ve forgotten that Zayne has already lost a kidney and his urine is red now. I’m afraid that the disease has recurred. This is not a good thing.
“Also, I could hear his tone earlier. He has lost confidence and motivation in life as though he’s grown weary of this world. I’m worried that he might’ve also inherited the mental illness from the Severe family.
“I’m incredibly worried about him. I have to go see him immediately. Otherwise, I’ll not feel at ease.”
Roxie anxiously reminded Angeline, saying, “Mommy, you must also protect your body. Remember not to worry too much to prevent the recurrence of your old sickness.”
“Mm, I got it.” Angeline nodded, then hurried away with a gloomy face.
After being absent-minded for a moment, Josie immediately caught up with Angeline.
“I’ll go with you, Angeline.”
“Alright.”
She knew that Zayne must have been tired but he dared not tell her that he was tired.
Josie’s eyes grew red as tears rolled down her face.
She thought that Zayne was such a jerk but she had been cruel as well. Zayne made a mistake, but he had turned over a new leaf and been begging her to take him back for so long. She could have made it clear and told him that she would not take him back, but she gave him hope and drove him to exhaustion.
She was the one who did this to him.
“I’m so sorry, Angeline,” she said while being choked up.
Angeline remained extremely calm and asked Josie lightly, “Jose, have you noticed that Zayne has changed?”
Josie looked at this narrow but clean room. She felt like her heart had been cut by a knife.
